Abstract

The invention provides a voltage stabilizer which is provided with one or more discharge circuits. The voltage stabilizer compensates less on-chip output capacitance and long loop response time. In an embodiment, the voltage stabilizer comprises an output transistor which is coupled with an output voltage wire, an output voltage sensing device which is coupled with the output voltage wire and is used for generating output feedback voltage and an error amplifier which is coupled with the output feedback voltage, the output transistor and reference voltage and is used for feeding back and controlling the output transistor. A first discharge circuit is coupled with the output voltage wire and a reference potential, wherein, the first discharge circuit is triggered by the status of sharply rising overvoltage. In the other embodiment, a combination of a fast discharge circuit and a slow discharge circuit is used for improving load step response that means preventing too high output voltage jump and drawing the output voltage to the stable value fast, so as to protect a load circuit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a capacitorless low dropout voltage regulator with fast overvoltage response. Background technique [0002] Traditional LDO regulators require external capacitors to stabilize the output voltage. To improve battery life and save PCB area in portable applications, a low quiescent current "capless" LDO regulator is increasingly being used. But these capless LDO regulators have problems when the load current changes rapidly, such as going from tens of milliamps to zero in less than 1 ns. Due to its limited on-chip output capacitance and slow loop response, the output voltage will jump to the supply voltage. In addition, after the transition, the output voltage will slowly drop to the normal value according to the resistance of the resistor divider and the capacitance of the on-chip capacitor. As a result, the output voltage of the LDO regulator will deviate from the normal value and stay near the supply voltage for a long time....
